Heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers with a commercial driver’s license (CDL) transport goods from one location to another. Driver schedules can vary widely depending on the type of route they travel. Drivers can travel local routes that can be completed within a day, or they can be assigned to longer trips that span several states and require several days on the road. Commercial drivers are required to adhere to state and federal safety regulations, and perform a variety of functions aside from driving. Drivers are responsible for securing cargo for transport, inspecting their vehicles before and after a trip, identifying and reporting mechanical problems, and maintaining a log of their hours.

The 60 Hour Class B CDL Driving program begins by preparing students for the written portion of the CDL test to obtain a CDL Learner’s Permit, which is necessary for the on-road portion of the program. Students will begin hands-on practice on our range training on topics like basic operations of a commercial vehicle, control systems, proper vehicle inspections, communications, visual search, and speed/space management. In addition, students will be trained on safe operations of a commercial vehicle and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) entry level driver training standards.

This program continues the hands-on practice of commercial truck driving. Students complete inspections and practice backing, parking, and driving skills both on the range and out on the road.
